Abstract

We prove that compact complex manifolds with admitting metrics with negative Chern curvature operator either admit a ddcdd^c-exact positive (1,1) current, or are K\"ahler with ample canonical bundle. In the case of complex surfaces we obtain a complete classification. The proofs rely on a global existence and convergence result for the pluriclosed flow.
